The rangers of the American Yellowstone National Park accused Pierce Brosnan, the actor known for his role as the secret agent James Bond, of moving in a closed part of this nature reserve.
Brosnan was accused of going off-trail near a series of hot springs in the oldest national park.
He was ordered to appear in court in Wyoming on January 27, 2024.
In the hot spring complex there are geysers, steam springs and pools with hot mud.
More than 20 people died after falling into one of these springs.
